403 error under mod_rewrite and .htaccess

hanpedro · 08-09-2012, 04:56 AM

I have a 403 error under mod_rewrite and .htaccess.

The httpd error log message is,

Quote:

/var/www/html/usersite/.htaccess pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable

And the setting of mod_rewrite is this.

At httpd.conf,

Code:

DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"

<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
</Directory>

<Directory "/var/www/html">
    Options FollowSymLinks ExecCGI Includes

    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

At httpd-vhosts.conf,

Code:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@server2.net
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/usersite
ServerName usersite.dyndns.org
ServerAlias www.usersite.dyndns.org
  <Directory /var/www/html/usersite/>
  AllowOverride all
  </Directory>
#php_admin_flag allow_url_fopen On
CustomLog "|/opt/lampp/bin/rotatelogs /opt/lampp/logs/usersite.dyndns.org_access_log.%Y-%m-%d 86400 +540" common
ErrorLog "|/opt/lampp/bin/rotatelogs /opt/lampp/logs/usersite.dyndns.org_error_log.%Y-%m-%d 86400 +540" 
</VirtualHost>

At .htaccess,

Code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)$ blog/index\.php\?mb_id=$1
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/([0-9]+)$ blog/index\.php\?mb_id=$1&id=$2
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)$ blog/index\.php\?mb_id=$1&yyyy=$2&mm=$3&dd=$4
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)$ blog/index\.php\?mb_id=$1&yyyy=$2&mm=$3
</IfModule>

Please let me know what I am wrong.

Thanks in advance.

Check the permissions on the /var/www/html/usersite/.htaccess file. The error message you posted says specifically that it can't be read, so the read permissions may have been removed or the user apache is running as doesn't have access to the file.
